Basket badge[]
The baskets were the same as in 2010. See the Festival of Eggs 2010 article for more details.
In 2013, spriters obtained a new basket badge like other event spriters. It has a tiny dragon sitting in it instead of eggs.

Additional information[]
- Comment from Fiona BlueFire on her egg:[citation needed]
“Two months ago a close friend died of bone cancer. She and I shared a love of flowers and of crafting. Many years ago I did a painting of daisies for her, and it's still hanging on her wall. At Christmas, just weeks before her death, I finished a painting of cherry blossoms for her to give her son and his wife as a Christmas gift. We both knew her time then was measuring in weeks, if not days. I was touched that she asked me, and she was glad that I was able to finish in time for her to see it, and see her son's reaction. I wanted to make my Easter egg this year a tribute to this wonderful friend, who always had such a spirit of joy that was always shining from her.
- Comment from Hot on Fire:[citation needed]
“Domestic Turkey - We eat these every year for Thanksgiving rather than the brown version. Although the brown version is also eaten, it's not as common to.
Wild Turkey - Little known fact, these were meant to be America's icon but people decided the Bald Eagle was better suited.
- Comment from Jmm:[citation needed]
“It's a cross between the Chaos Sphere (HeXen) and a tesla ball. Because Tesla's cool. The setting for the sphere was made to look more like draconic claws so it had an appropriate theme.
— Jmm
- Comment from LadyLyzar:[citation needed]
“I have always loved Zelda. The dragons weren't meant to be Spyro but I realized that they looked a lot like him after coloring them, so I left it :) Happy Easter to all.
- LordFflam's egg is a tribute to "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band".[citation needed]
“(LadyLyzar's hubby) - Hubby is a bass player and that is his Fender Sting bass. We have always enjoyed playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band together and the kids love it too.
- Comments from Shikaru:[citation needed]
“Tis not from Okami or any specific game/show/etc.
Favorite animal is a fox, and I really like the designs of those masks.— Shikaru
- Comments from Sif:[citation needed]
“Started out as a power core with design inspired by the Gree Technology from SWTOR (Yay Star Wars!), and somehow the core turned into its own little galaxy, so I just ran with it. So it's a mix between being a galaxy held inside of an egg and a power core sorta thing, hence the smoke discharge when it opens and the rotating pieces. Overall, just wanted to make something unique and tech-like. Would've liked to make the animations a bit smoother, and the rotating piece disappears on the far side on the portal skin (made it get too dark to go behind, whoops) but whatever.
— Sif
- Comments from TaesoSpiritDragon:[citation needed]
“I picked the Nautilus because I was always fascinated by this living fossil's shell and had been wanting to do one since the easter event in '11. My folks have a nautilus shell half at home, and I enjoyed studying the intricate layers of colors and layers within as a kid, and the smoothly striped texture on the outside. When I went to create this egg I was torn between doing just the outside, or just the inside, so I decided to do a fade-away from outside to inside to show the subtle beauty of the outer shell and the bold brilliance of the inner shells.
- Comments from Verridith:[citation needed]
“I created the egg out of three combined squadron symbols from three Ace Combat games; I've always been an airplane/fighter jet enthusiast and someday wish to become a pilot myself, but couldn't find a good egg design featuring anything with jets I could make workable. Thus, I remembered the Galm team's dog symbol, and has a vision of that same dog walking around behind an egg. Then, while wondering what to put in the middle, I decided on two other squadron signs - thus combining a reference of all three AC games I currently own. Whoot!
